“Peter Jackson's domestic zombie massacre proceeds akin to a John Romero scenario by frantic mode of early Sam Raimi, though it evidences more gore and vigor than anything either …”

“Before there was LORD OF THE RINGS there was DEAD ALIVE! Every film fan who thinks Peter Jackson is all about fairies, elves, and hobbits should check out his early work like BAD …”

About this movie

Wiki

The grossest movieevermade, this quintessential splatter film details the tender story of a henpecked boy, his overbearing mum, and a nasty little Sumerian rat-monkey that turns people into voracious zombies. In lesser hands, thisne plus ultraviscera-fest would be so disturbing as to be nigh-unwatchable, but the incredible energy and imagination of director Peter Jackson makes it a first-class guilty pleasure, with plentiful helpings of gallows humor (the scripture-quoting, kung-fu-dispensing priest is a highlight) and a taboo subtext that Sigmund Freud would have loved. Essential viewing for gorehounds and anyone else with a high tolerance for flying entrails. The director would later tone down the gore (but not the manic enthusiasm) for the sublimeHeavenly CreaturesandThe Frighteners.--Andrew Wright
